At the beginning of February, the weather in Chang'an City was gradually warming.

The water in the moat melted, and the willows sprouted.

And at this time, Li Yu took 150,000 tiger and wolf troops to the Zhou State.

When Li Yu led his troops to leave Chang'an City, the people of Chang'an City were very excited.

Okay, okay, the Tang Emperor is going to make a move against the Zhou State, if the Zhou State can be destroyed this time, my Tang State will not be far from dominating the world.

Who said no, after destroying the Zhou Kingdom, there will only be one Song Kingdom left, although the Song Kingdom is rich, but it can't compete with my Tang Kingdom.

That is, that is, it seems that our Tang Kingdom is going to dominate the world, long live the Tang Emperor.

Emperor Tang will definitely be able to destroy the Zhou Kingdom, and I am very confident in this.

That's right, that's right, Emperor Tang will definitely be able to destroy the Zhou State.

The people of the Tang Kingdom are very confident in Li Yu, and in their opinion, as long as their Tang Emperor comes out, there is no country that cannot be destroyed.

This was the case in the previous Jin Kingdom, the Wei State and the Ming Kingdom, and the current Zhou State is definitely like this, and the Song State in the future will not be an exception.

Every time Li Yu went on an expedition, the most excited people were the people of the Tang Kingdom.

As for this, Li Yu seemed much more bland, and since the beginning of February, they have rushed directly to Zhou State.

After rushing like this for almost a month, they came to the territory of the Zhou Kingdom, and the soldiers and horses approached Heicheng.

At this time, Li Yu summoned the civil and military officials.

After two more days, we will go to Heicheng City, now Heicheng is guarded by Song Jing of Zhou State, this Song Jing is extraordinary, not only an expert in governing the country, but also a Confucian general, very good at using soldiers, to break the Heicheng, do you have any good strategies?

Li Yu asked, and the courtiers looked at each other, and soon, someone stood up.

Saint, we have red-coated cannons, so we can just blow up the city of Heicheng.

That is, that is, if we blow up the city gate, we have 150,000 soldiers and horses, and the Zhou State only has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and they are not as powerful as us, and it is easy to destroy them.

That's right, that's right, blow the gates of the Black City open.

Many people proposed to use red-coated cannons to directly blow up the cities of the Zhou Kingdom. But at this time, Xu Maogong stood up and said: Shengshang, although the red-clothed cannon is powerful, it is the secret weapon of our Tang Kingdom, and it is best not to use it as a last resort, otherwise it will be used in Heicheng, and I am afraid that it will fail when it reaches Humen Pass, at least the power will be reduced a lot, such as

If we can use other methods to capture the Black City, we had better use other methods to capture the Black City.

Xu Maogong said this, and the others immediately pouted.

In their opinion, there is a way to break the city quickly, but there are other methods, are they sick?

But none of them can say that what Xu Maogong said is unreasonable.

In case they used a red-clothed cannon, and Xue Dingshan at Humen Pass came up with a way to crack it, then if they wanted to destroy the Zhou State, I am afraid it would be more troublesome.

Lord Xu, if you don't let the red-clothed cannon be used, then how can we capture the Black City?

That is, what do you have a good plan?

Say it and let us all hear it.

It is, it is

Everyone was gossiping, and they all pointed the finger at Xu Maogong, you said that you don't need a red-clothed cannon, so do you think of a way to capture the black city without a red-clothed cannon? Everyone looked at Xu Maogong, Xu Maogong smiled, and said: First of all, we can still use the trebuchet, although it is not as good as the red-clothed cannon, but the power is definitely not weak, and then there is, this Song Jing failed to make the Song State and was sent here by Zhou Wumei to defend the city, he must be very aggrieved and uncomfortable in his heart, if we can stimulate him, maybe we can stimulate him out of the city to fight with us.

In war, sometimes it is psychological tactics, in Xu Maogong's opinion, if he pinched Song Jing, he might be able to provoke him. But at this time, Chen Ping shook his head and said: Lord Xu, if it were someone else, maybe your method would be feasible, but Song Jing was different, this person had strategy, courage, and a good mind, and wanted to use some psychological methods to provoke him to go out of the city to fight, but I was afraid that it was unlikely.

In my opinion, the only way to break the black city is to attack hard.

In this world, there will always be some methods that are ineffective for a certain part, such as people like Song Jing.

He has a tenacity that others don't have, and it's not easy to fool him, or get provoked.

If the black city is to be broken, it can only be attacked.

Hearing Chen Ping's words, Xu Maogong smiled: Any person has weaknesses, and Song Jing is naturally no exception, we have pinched his weaknesses and wanted to provoke him, so naturally it would be fine.

Oh, in this way, did Lord Xu grasp Song Jing's weakness?

Xu Maogong nodded: Song Jing has a crush on Zhou Wumei, everything he does is for Zhou Wumei, if we start from this, it will be much easier to provoke Song Jing.

Hearing that Song Jing had a crush on Zhou Wumei, the people around him were stunned, and even Li Yu was a little surprised, why didn't he know about this?

However, if what Xu Maogong said was true, then they might really be able to provoke Song Jing.

Lord Xu, how do you know this?

An official asked, and everyone else also cast puzzled glances curiously, Xu Maogong shrugged his shoulders and said: I guess, guess blindly.

Hearing that Xu Maogong was guessing blindly, everyone was suddenly a little stunned. However, at this time, Xu Maogong didn't care, and said: Whether it's true or not, as long as it's involved, it can anger Song Jing, and don't look at it, that Zhou Wumei is a very attractive woman, that man is not moved when he sees him, this Song Jing, as the prime minister of Zhou State, often interacts with Zhou Wumei, if you want to say that Song Jing is not moved, it seems unlikely, right?

For beautiful women, men have always had no self-control, let alone an extremely beautiful woman like Zhou Wumei, and Song Jing and Zhou Wumei often discuss government affairs, so it can be said that they get along day and night.

In this way, Song Jing didn't have some careful thoughts about Zhou Wumei, and he was really a little unreasonable.

Although it was just speculation, Xu Maogong felt that eight or nine were not far from ten, and even if it wasn't true, they could say it, anyway, as long as they could provoke Song Jing.

At this time, everyone had already understood the meaning of Xu Maogong's words, and after understanding, they felt that Xu Maogong's method was a bit of a loss, but the loss was very useful.

As long as our side can capture the Black City very quickly, it doesn't matter if the method he uses is damaged or not. After Li Yu listened to his words, he nodded and said: This method, we can try it then, if Song Jing goes out of the city to fight, we will destroy them quickly.
